Manufactured in 1889 with standard blade front and "U" notch rear sights. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line Colt Hartford address/patent dates (1884 and 1888). The number "50" is marked on the frame, crane, rear face of the cylinder and underside of the barrel. The butt is unmarked. There is a single five-pointed star on the crane and single five-point stars with the letter "P" on the rear of the cylinder and underside of the barrel, indicating some type of factory rework. An additional five-pointed star is marked on the rear of the left side of the frame. Fitted with smooth walnut grips.

Factory refinished to near excellent, with slight edge and muzzle wear and is heavily scratched on the frame. The butt marking has been filed off prior to refinish. There is a smooth gray patina on the grip straps and limited pin prick pitting on the front of the frame. The grips are very good with some minor handling marks.
